There appears to be a link between health problems and fluctuating incomes, according to research. More than 60 million people in the U.S. have unpredictable pay, including those who work in tipped jobs and gig workers.
There appears to be a link between health problems and fluctuating incomes, according to research published by the American Psychological Association on Thursday.
“Not only was pay volatility related to worse health in lower-paid tipped jobs or among freelancers in the gig economy but for higher-paid professionals working in finance, sales and marketing where commissions and performance bonuses are common,” said report author Gordon Sayre, an assistant professor of organizational behavior at Emlyon Business School in France, in a news release.
The first study involved 85 workers including waiters, maids, and delivery drivers — all of whom relied on tips — who for two weeks completed online daily surveys about their pay and health. Pay volatility was associated with physical symptoms among the participants in the first two studies. Sleep quality was affected among participants in all three studies.
